Confession: I really want one girl's hat - second from the left.

Not sure what to make of this one. The expressions confuse me a bit - one lady smiling, one bored, and one shy with a bit of something else thrown in....

Orphans? They all appear to be about the same age, each has the same haircut, and the dresses are somewhat ill-fitting. Such a bunch of cuties!

For the longest time, I thought these were two children. Eventually, I realized that the person in the back is a woman. She's just a bit small.

I don't usually fall in love with color photos, but I simply had no choice! Look at her scale on the left. And the cans stacked on top of each other. And her smile - her pride. And the photo on the right? Knee socks! Homemade wine! Laundry line-drying inside! Neat....

The scan of the back of the photograph didn't come out. It reads:

"Tommy -
This is a picture
of your Daddy when
he was a little boy.
I believe I'm mistaken
since thinking about it
I think it is Al's picture
instead of your Daddy."

I am intrigued by the woman on the left.
